There's a saying that "If you can't stop thinking about a person don't let them slip away". But what causes us to let people we love go? PRIDE! Pride is a relationship murder. I hate when people say they can think of a person all day and you still wouldn't hear from them. That is sooo CHILDISH! You don't want to seem vulnerable, but i'd rather seem vulnerable than naive. Put that pride to the side or end up being the side chick. How do you feel about Pride, have you ever had it end a relationship, and how did you deal with it? Oh and how has it changed future and current relationships?

completely agree
people choose their own pride over love and dont know how to swallow it sometimes

Is there a backstory or something?
Posted by DMVWell I basically let someone slip away because I had too much pride. I was so into the chase I didn't care about how he felt. It's like I felt as though he should be the first to contact me. I could would think about this man alll day stare at his name in my phone then be like if he miss me he would text me first. He would come around and I wouldn't show any emotion. It's been 2 1/2 weeks since we came into contact ands i just know I lost him. It was a lesson learned I'm going to speak up for now on. I'm a working progress

Posted by Arielle83And that was my bad habit. I sometimes feel irreplaceable I should've listened to Beyonce ‚
No kidding. It's like the ladies who hold off on communicating because they want the guy to communicate first. Wtf.
Posted by flowingwaterThe only time a person should not want to be vulnerable is if they fear being hurt, but if she hang with a Sag I bet he can teach her that it's okay to love again. They are sooo optimistic
Wow, I couldn't agree with this anymore.
I saw the post about telling the libra girl not to say I love you because it makes her look vulnerable I feel for her I really do because it's a pain that can't be filled.
Oh damn 🙊

Posted by derpetteWell, I think it can also be a matter of not wanting to "show all your cards". You don't want a guy to feel pressured into returning an "I love you" just because the girl said it.Posted by Arielle83You're right. Usually I wouldn't play that game, but this is the first time I've fallen for someone so quickly and the first time I'm finding myself expressing more than the guy.
If you play that game you always lose, because there are girls who don't play that game and are easier to deal with.click to expand

I think it's because women get told or read they shouldn't chase a guy or initiate contact or be the first to say I love you etc.
Most posts on here criticise women for doing the above. Frankly, I've no idea what you're 'supposed' to do!

Nothing wrong with (some) pride. Add stubborness and it will get tricky.
Guys freak out and run from me because im too mushy for them. Even if I feel we have a connection they always leave maybe i'm just blind. I don't know. I would love to say I love you, but hell I got shut down just for saying I miss you so I am done with that. I will just be in silent pain. I wish him the best.
